Expert Insight: Samantha Carter notes that the consistent reliance on a weighted average from bank exchange desks suggests an effort to reflect market-driven liquidity. However, the widening gap in year-over-year percentage increases indicates that economic actors must account for significant volatility when planning long-term financial commitments in the region.

Recent data from June 12, 2026, showed varied buying and selling rates across institutions; for example, BBVA Provincial reported a selling rate of 748.2679, while N58 Banco Digital recorded a selling rate of 581.1952.
